Ep 1372 - Godolphin dominate trade on day one at Tattersalls
Charlotte Greenway in for Nick and joined by Jane Mangan to look back on the action from day 1 of the Tattersalls Book 1 yearling sale in which Godolphin certainly left their mark including securing the top lot of the day. Jane and Charlotte look at why we may not have seen the same fireworks of last year and why to some the market appeared a bit 'patchy'. We hear from Anthony Rogers of Airlie Stud who sold his first seven figures homebred out of his mare that keeps on giving and Fabienne Parkin who consigned her first yearlings yesterday discusses why she's ventured into the consignment game and Simon Mockridge discusses Lead Artist, who's joined the Juddmonte stallion roster for the upcoming breeding season. Nick catches up with Pip Kirkby about the newly created schooling races in the UK, in an effort the recreate what's so widely used in other countries around the world before JA McGrath had the latest from Hong Kong.
